title: [Secretion of prostaglandin E by cells of human thymoma MOLT-4 and their sensitivity to cytotoxic action of NK-cells].
abstract: It was demonstrated that thymoma cells of MOLT-4 strain which are the standard cell targets of cytotoxic tests (CT) with NK-cells are rapidly releasing PGE in contact with NK-cells; as a consequence the depression of cytotoxic activity (CTA) of NK-cells takes place. The significant decrease of CTA of NK-cells was observed when the absolute number of MOLT-4 target cells participating in CT increased. Correspondingly the susceptibility of MOLT-4 cells as a target in CT is decreased. The levels of susceptibility of MOLT-4 cells to NK-cell cytotoxicity and CTA of NK-cells retained, or even increased, after the pretreatment of MOLT-4 cells with indomethacin.
